★★★★★ — Hayley, Feb 2023

This is a great way to get a full body workout and have fun while doing it! Memberships are expensive, but they offer day passes and 10 punch passes that are great options for anyone who isn't expecting to go frequently.

Triangle Rock Club Durham: A Climber's Paradise As an avid climber and fitness enthusiast, I've found my haven at Triangle Rock Club (TRC) Durham. This place isn't just a climbing gym; it's a vibrant community and comprehensive fitness center that caters to all levels and interests.

The Durham location now has ropes and a full gym. Climbing here is always a pleasure, with huge bouldering space with excellent range of problems up to V10. Lead wall has full cave and brand new holds. This is the premier gym of the Triangle area.

Birthday parties at Triangle Rock Club - Durham

Triangle Rock Club - Durham hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch.
